| Post subject: | Pennsy Pix (and Some Other Roads, Too) |
While looking up photos of Pennsylvania Railroad gun flats, and looking for other photos of surviving 19th century steam locomotives, I came across this site, a commercial one with Pennsy photos for sale. In addition to photos on the PRR, there appear to be other photos from other roads, including what appear to be builder's photos of some freight cars. This site may be of interest to some people here. General link (home page); warning, I never did figure out how to turn off that music: http://www.billspennsyphotos.com/ Background on the site's owner: http://www.billspennsyphotos.com/aboutme.htm Some sample images from the site's albums. . . A coastal defense gun; check out the tight clearances with the bridge in the photo, and the trucks that seem to follow European practice: http://www.billspennsyphotos.com/apps/p ... d=83602144 Something once so common, now so rare: http://www.billspennsyphotos.com/apps/p ... d=88359036 An interesting tank car: http://www.billspennsyphotos.com/apps/p ... d=82584870 Are any of these unusual BAR pulpwood cars still around? http://www.billspennsyphotos.com/apps/p ... d=82584874 http://www.billspennsyphotos.com/apps/p ... d=82584875 http://www.billspennsyphotos.com/apps/p ... d=82584873 A stylish tanker, complete with streamlining and fins: http://www.billspennsyphotos.com/apps/p ... d=82584877 A skeleton logging flat, for Klickitat Log & Lumber (?); of note is the shield over the air brake components to attempt to keep debris out: http://www.billspennsyphotos.com/apps/p ... d=82584886 You have to wonder about the forces in wrecks: http://www.billspennsyphotos.com/apps/p ... d=82586967 Ancient vinegar tanker: http://www.billspennsyphotos.com/apps/p ... d=82586970 Wonder what the story is behind the car in this photo; it almost looks to be on narrow-gauge trucks, but it doesn't look like it's on the EBT, and it apparently has wreck damage: http://www.billspennsyphotos.com/apps/p ... d=83601208 An excuse to have fun with old tractors at your railroad museum (and also to illustrate that this came--and still comes--by rail): http://www.billspennsyphotos.com/apps/p ... d=83601224 What kind of trucks are under this Katy flat? http://www.billspennsyphotos.com/apps/p ... d=83602033 http://www.billspennsyphotos.com/apps/p ... d=83602134 A variation on the gun flat, in this case "going long:" http://www.billspennsyphotos.com/apps/p ... d=83602137 Specials for Ron Travis: some engines from the 19th century, from the locomotive gallery: http://www.billspennsyphotos.com/apps/p ... d=63047388 http://www.billspennsyphotos.com/apps/p ... =124717647 http://www.billspennsyphotos.com/apps/p ... =134143629 Have fun, and maybe spend a bit of money, too. . . |
